Can I merge multiple Microsoft Ads billing accounts?

Alternative Solutions:
Consolidate Spending Under One Account

If possible, consider using a single billing account for all campaigns instead of multiple accounts.
Use a Shared Payment Method

If the goal is to streamline payments, you can use the same credit card or bank account across multiple billing accounts.
Manage Multiple Accounts via MCC (Multi-Account Center)

Microsoft Ads offers Multi-Account Center (MCC), which allows you to manage multiple accounts under a single dashboard. However, this doesn't merge billing accounts but provides an easier way to oversee them.
Contact Microsoft Ads Support

If you need to consolidate accounts for any specific reason (e.g., transferring accounts due to business changes), you can contact Microsoft Ads support to explore available options.

No, Microsoft Ads does not allow you to merge multiple billing accounts into one. Each billing account remains separate with its own payment methods, invoices, and billing cycles.

However, there are workarounds to consolidate billing and manage multiple accounts more efficiently.

🔹 Alternative Solutions to Manage Multiple Billing Accounts
✅ 1. Use a Single Payments Profile for All Accounts
If you manage multiple Microsoft Ads accounts, you can link them to one Payments Profile.
This keeps all invoices in one place but still keeps ad accounts separate.
Go to Billing & Payments > Payments Profile and use the same profile for multiple accounts.
🚨 Limitations:

You still cannot combine past invoices or payments from separate billing accounts.
✅ 2. Use Multi-Account Management (MCC Account)
If you're running multiple Microsoft Ads accounts (e.g., agency, franchise, multiple businesses), you can:

🔹 Create a Multi-Account Manager (MCC) account

Allows you to manage multiple Microsoft Ads accounts from one dashboard.
Lets you switch between accounts easily without logging in/out.
Does not merge billing, but makes management easier.
📌 How to Set Up MCC:
1️⃣ Log in to Microsoft Ads
2️⃣ Click Tools > Accounts > Create Multi-Account Manager (MCC).
3️⃣ Link your existing ad accounts.

🚨 Limitations:

Each account still has separate billing, but you can view/manage them from one place.
✅ 3. Switch All Accounts to Monthly Invoicing
For high-spending advertisers, Microsoft Ads offers consolidated monthly invoicing under one account.

🔹 Benefits of Monthly Invoicing:
✔ Get one invoice per month for all campaigns.
✔ Set up a single payment method for multiple accounts.
✔ Easier to manage tax reporting and accounting.

📌 How to Apply for Monthly Invoicing:
1️⃣ Contact Microsoft Ads Support and request consolidated monthly billing.
2️⃣ Microsoft will review your ad spend history (usually requires a high ad spend).
3️⃣ If approved, you'll get one invoice per month instead of multiple charges.

🚨 Limitations:

Available only for high-budget advertisers ($5,000+/month).
Requires approval from Microsoft Ads.
🎯 Final Answer: Can You Merge Billing Accounts?
❌ You CANNOT merge multiple billing accounts into one.
✅ You CAN consolidate payment methods using the same Payments Profile.
✅ You CAN manage multiple accounts more easily with an MCC account.
✅ You CAN apply for Monthly Invoicing if you have high ad spend.
